BlackBerries automatically capitalize the first letter after a period, so that theory doesn't really hold.

- jeebusroxors 16y agoBut you type in all lowercase (correct?), so typing: the quick brown fox... would turn into The quick brown fox... which would not translate to the PC. It would just stay lowercase.
- BrandonM 16y agoAre you really comparing typing on a PC keyboard to typing on a BlackBerry? My thumbs can only "type" so fast, but sitting at a keyboard I'm somewhere around 100 wpm. It feels like two completely different activities. At a keyboard, capitalization happens automatically without me even thinking about it. It's not a matter of bad habit, it's a conscious choice. When I'm IM'ing with friends, I typically type all lowercase (but with good spelling and punctuation) because it's what they do and it seems less formal. When I'm typing an email or an HN comment, the capitalization just happens.
